It is not extant. It was synonymized subjectively with Diplacodon by Lucas (1983). It was assigned to Brontotheriidae by Osborn (1929), Carroll (1988) and Mader (1989).[2]MorphologyA single specimen was examined by M. Mendoza for body mass and estimated to have a weight of {{Convert|238|kg|lb|abbr=on|sigfig=2}}.[3] References1. ^PaleoBiology Database: Brontopinae, basic info {{Brontotheriidae}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q3924265}}{{paleo-oddtoedungulate-stub}}2. ^B.
